Ugh, I guess I can't use that VM for local testing, even. Despite having a valid Windows license, and signing in with the account that license is attached to, the Windows install on that VM refuses to activate, just returning some obscure HRESULT.

That leaves me with either troubleshooting why it can't find the license I already have or spending $140 getting a new one. Fucking hell.
